Three months later:

Three months have passed since we last saw the rangers. Right now we see Brandon S., John and Kate sitting in, what appears to be, a library. Each one has a stack of books in front of them. A look at some of the books shows they all have something to do with ancient myths and legends.

Kate: (reading) ah! I've found something

The other two come over and look over Kate's shoulder. The book appears to be one on ancient Greek Mythology. On the top of the page are the words: "Pandora's Box". The page reads:

"Among the many items throughout ancient lore, Pandora's Box is one of the most well-known. Believed to contain all the evil in the world, this ancient artifact, if opened, was said to unleash Armageddon upon the world. While many have claimed to know its location, its exact location remains shrouded in mystery."

Underneath the text is a picture of, what looks like, what Kate and Raphael found in the forest 10,000 years ago.

Brandon S.: is that it? Are you sure?

Kate: I'm positive. That's the same box Raphael opened up 10,000 years ago. That's where Omegor came from.

John: so where is it now?

Kate: I don't know. As I said when I woke up both it and my brother were gone.

Brandon S.: so Omegor knows where it is then?

John: I don't think so.

Kate: right if he did he would have retrieved it and opened it already. That means Raphael's final act of free will…

Brandon S.: was to make sure Omegor never got his hands on the box

Kate: exactly

John: we need to find it before he does or we're all screwed.

They get up and start to walk out. As they walk by another table we see a man and woman sitting there. The three stop at the table. We see they are also looking into ancient lore.

Kate: hey Kaylin, Stephon what are you two doing here?

151

Kaylin: (looking up) oh hey Kate. Just doing some research

Stephon doesn't look up causing Kaylin to kick him under the table.

Stephon: oh sorry. Yeah we're doing some research on ancient mythology.

He shows them the book, and we see that it is the same book that Kate was reading.

Kate: okay well we've got to get going see you guys later.

Both: bye

Kate, Brandon and John walk away and exit the library. They step to the side to talk.

John: hey Kate wasn't that the same book you were reading?

Kate: yeah

Brandon S.: what are the odds?

Kate doesn't respond.

John: what's up Kate?

Kate: nothing I was just thinking. Let's get back to the Power Chamber.

They then teleport away. A moment later we see Kaylin and Stephon exit the library.

Kaylin: smooth move Morticai next time why not just tell the rangers what we're looking for.

Morticai: relax Psyclone they don't even know who we really are. Why are you so worried?

The two of them begin arguing as they hide and teleport away.

?:

The scene begins in, what appears to be a cave. We see two men, both carrying torches, wandering through the cave.

Man 2: Dr. Hartford

Dr. Hartford: (turning around) what is it Alex?

Alex: is it much further? It's getting really hot down here?

Hartford: it should be just ahead.

152

They continue forward and eventually find themselves in an open cavern. In the center we see a pedestal with something on top of it.

Hartford: there it is.

He approaches the pedestal where we see Pandora's box resting.

Alex: is that it?

Hartford pulls a picture out of his pocket and holds it up next to the box.

Hartford: yes this is definitely the legendary Pandora's Box

He grabs the box off of the pedestal.

Hartford: got it. Now let's get out of here.

The two of them return to the surface where a young man is standing there waiting for them.

?: dad, Alex you're back

Alex: yes Mack we're back

Mack: so did you find it?

Hartford holds up the box to show Mack

Hartford: yes, after years of searching we finally found it.

Mack: let's go home

Both: right

Unseen to any of them a monster is nearby watching.

Country Road:

We see a jeep driving down a road. Inside we see Hartford, Alex and Mack. As they turn a corner we see a monster and several drazors standing in the middle of the road. Seeing this, Hartford stops the jeep.

Mack: well that might be a problem.

He hops out of the jeep.

Alex: what are you doing Mack? We need to get out of here.

Mack pulls something out of his pocket and turns to look at Hartford and Alex.

153

Mack: no matter what happens protect the box at all costs.

Hartford: right good luck Mack

Mack: overdrive accelerate

A light surrounds him. When it disappears he is wearing ranger armor. Alex gasps in surprise.

Power Chamber:

Kate, Brandon and John have arrived back at the Power Chamber.

John: so what now?

Brandon S.: yeah you saw what the book said. Nobody even knows where the box is located.

Before Kate can respond the alarm starts going off. The three of them look at the viewing globe to see Mack fighting the monster.

Kate: looks like trouble. Ready?

Other two: ready

John: dragon thunder power up hah

Kate: white ranger dragon power

Brandon S.: dragonzord

They then teleport to where Mack is.

Country Road:

They arrive to find themselves in the middle of the fray.

Mack: (seeing them) nice of you to join me.

John: Are we late for the party?

Mack: nope just in time

Monster: (backing away) looks like I'm outnumbered. Better make a hasty retreat.

He then teleports away. Alex and Hartford then join the rangers.

Rangers: power down

Mack: thanks for the help rangers. I don't think I could've beaten him by myself.

154

Kate: no problem

Alex: (to Mack) since when have you been a power ranger?

Mack: I'll explain later Alex

Brandon S.: how about this then? Why did our villain's monster attack you?

Hartford: he was probably after this.

He shows our rangers Pandora's Box.

John: no way

Kate: where did you find that?

Hartford: (checking watch) it's getting late. We should get back before the others start worrying. You three are welcome to come back with us. I'll explain everything at my house.

They all hop into the jeep and drive. Unseen to any of them the monster is following them at a distance. Eventually they arrive at an expensive looking house. We see several cars parked outside.

Hartford: here we are

They pull into the driveway where an older gentleman is waiting.

?: ah sir you've returned

Hartford: hello Spencer. Are the others inside?

Spencer: yes sir they are all sitting in the living room

Hartford: thank you Spencer. (to rangers) follow me

They all go inside and enter the living room. We see three men, two woman, and, what looks like, a robot sitting and drinking tea.

Female 1: (seeing the others) Mack you're back

She runs over and hugs Mack

Mack: oh it's nice to see you again Rose.

Hartford: (tapping Kate on the shoulder) (whispering) can I talk to you in private?

Kate: sure

The two of them exit the room, unseen by the others.

155

Robot: what's this all about Mack?

Mack: this

He picks the box up off the floor and places it on the coffee table. The others gasp.

Female 2: is that?

Male 1: pandora's box?

Male 2: that's impossible

Before Mack can say anything we hear an explosion outside.

John: sounds like trouble

Everyone, including Kate, Hartford and Alex rush outside to find Deathstroke, Morticai and Psyclone standing there.

Deathstroke: give me the box or I'll destroy all of you.

Brandon S.: never

Morticai: I was hoping you'd say that.

Psyclone: (counting our rangers) wait

Deathstroke: (annoyed) what is it?

Psyclone: there's only three rangers here. (to rangers) where are your teammates?

Greg: (behind them) right here

All three monsters turn around to see the rest of our rangers standing there unmorphed

Mack: (to Kate) your team I assume.

John: yep

Morticai: so we meet again red ranger

Brandon: yep

Mack: dad, Alex take the box inside. We'll handle this

Hartford: right good luck rangers

They head inside and the rangers gather together.

156

Male 1: only three this should be a piece of cake.

Greg points at Psyclone and Morticai

Greg: they're our villain's generals don't underestimate them

Rose: (pointing at Deathstroke) what about him?

John: well he's a mystery

Deathstroke: (laughing) my name is Deathstroke, and I am…

Kate: (gasping) (whispering) dad

Deathstroke: (seeing Kate) ah Willow it's good to see you again

All of the rangers look at Kate

Greg: you know him?

Morticai: (to Deathstroke) you know her?

Kate: yes

Deathstroke: she's my daughter

Kate: he's my father

The rangers, Morticai and Psyclone are surprised by this information

Psyclone: so that makes her our

Deathstroke: Aunt correct

Robot: uh guys. This family reunion is nice and all but…

We see drazors have appeared and surrounded the house. There are more than we have seen before. It appears Omegor is desperate to get the box. Everyone comes to their senses.

Brandon: (stepping forward) right. Are you guys ready?

Others: ready

Dragon Rangers: dragon thunder power up hah

Kate: white ranger dragon power

Others: overdrive accelerate

157

Their armor appears and the rangers draw their weapons and charge at the three generals.

Deathstroke: let's do this

The three generals also draw their weapons and meet the rangers head on. Unseen to any of them another monster, the one that attacked Mack, Hartford and Alex on the road, has arrived and snuck into the house while the rangers are distracted.

Monster: (sneaking) now where is it?

In the process of sneaking, the monster doesn't see Hartford standing there. He then walks into him.

Hartford: can I help you with something?

Monster: (looking up) the box where is it?

Hartford draws a blaster.

Hartford: sorry no box here

He fires the blaster at point blank range. It hits the monster's helmet knocking it off. We see that the monster is a cow is knight's armor.

Hartford: (laughing) a cow? Huh that's new.

Monster: I am Sir Loin of Beef

Hartford begins laughing

Sir Loin: what, may I ask, is so funny?

Hartford: you're a cow in knight's armor.

Sir Loin: I am not a cow. I am an honorable knight.

Tyler T.: (behind him) cow or knight you're still going down

Sir Loin turns around to see the Flame Rangers standing there.

Rebel Base:

The scene switches back to the rebel base in the future. We see Greg and Laura have been reunited with a lot of their old friends and teammates. All of a sudden the alarm starts to go off.

Greg: great let me guess an attack?

Tyler N.: yep

158

He hits several buttons and an image pops up on the screen. We see that drazors have swarmed the base. We also see a monster and Pyrax with them.

Greg: looks like trouble.

Tyler N.: can you two still fight like the old days?

Laura: watch us

Greg: ready?

Others: ready

Present Day Earth:

Sir Loin: who are you supposed to be?

Tyler T.: your end

Zack: (to Hartford) get the box to safety

Hartford: right

Alex and Hartford flee leaving the rangers to deal with Sir Loin.

Nathan: (looking around) uh guys we should probably take this battle outside. This stuff looks expensive

Tyler M.: good point

They all go outside and Sir Loin follows

Sir Loin: so which one of you do I get to dishonor first?

Ashley: which one? When you challenge one of us you get all of us.

Sir Loin: where's the honor in that?

Tyler M.: (stepping forward) fine then I'll fight you first.

Sir Loin: then draw your sword and prepare for a pummeling

Tyler draws his sword and the battle begins. Sir Loin seems to be a competent swordsman, as he matches Tyler blow for blow.

Tyler: you know for a cow you're pretty good

Sir Loin: I am not a cow I'm….

159

Tyler M.: I know an honorable knight

Sir Loin: that is correct peasant

Tyler M.: so can I ask you a question then?

Sir Loin: of course

Tyler M.: why is an honorable knight, like yourself, serving somebody as evil, and dishonorable, as Omegor?

Sir Loin: (stopping) I owe him a great debt.

Tyler takes this opportunity to strike, knocking Sir Loin to the ground.

Sir Loin: you have bested me black ranger. Strike me down and claim my sword as your own

Tyler, instead, sheaths his sword and approaches Sir Loin. He then holds out his hand.

Sir Loin: (confused) what are you doing?

Tyler M.: sparing you

The other rangers approach the two of them.

Ashley: join us and together we'll stop Omegor.

Zack: and anyone else who stands in our way

Tyler T.: what do you say? Will you join us Sir Loin of Beef?

Sir Loin thinks for a moment. He then takes Tyler's hand and he helps him up.

Sir Loin: you're a good fighter black ranger.

Tyler M.: as are you Sir Loin

Nathan: welcome to the team

Sir Loin: thank you

They then teleport away. The other rangers don't appear to notice the Flame Rangers or anything that just happened.

Omegor's Ship:

The scene shifts to Omegor's ship. We see Omegor, Patricor and several monsters watching the battle at Hartford's house.

160

Patricor: wow those other rangers are pretty good

Monster 1: yeah

Monster 2: no doubt

Omegor: (slamming down fist) shut up

All three shy back in fear. Another monster then enters the room and approaches Omegor.

Monster 3: my lord

Omegor: (turning) what is it?

Monster 3: Sir Loin has defected sir.

Omegor: what!

Monster 3: I'm afraid so sir. We just got word a few minutes ago

Patricor: I always knew that knight was useless

Hartford's house:

The scene shifts back to the battle with Omegor's generals. We see that Mack's team is fighting Deathstroke while our rangers are fighting Psyclone and Morticai. Suddenly we hear laughter coming from the house. A second later Dr. Reckor comes running out carrying the box with Hartford and Alex close behind.

Alex: stop him he has the box.

Kate hears this and breaks off to confront Reckor. She draws her blaster and points it at Reckor.

Kate: that's far enough

Reckor: (laughing) go ahead white ranger shoot me. But think what could happen when the box hits the ground.

Kate hesitates knowing that Reckor is right. When the box hits the ground it could burst open. Which would release all the evil it contains into the world.

Reckor: so what are you going to do white ranger.

Kate lowers her blaster, raises it again then finally lowers it once more.

Reckor: that's what I thought.

161

He turns to run and walks straight into Sir Loin.

Reckor: ah good you're here. Deal with her I'll take this to Lord Omegor

Sir Loin grabs the box out of Reckor's hands and strikes knocking him to the ground.

Kate: what the hell?

Reckor: what are you doing?

Sir Loin doesn't answer. Instead he walks over to Kate and hands her the box.

Sir Loin: protect this they must not get their hands on it.

He then teleports away leaving a confused Kate standing there.

Kate: (confused) okay?

Suddenly lightning bolts start striking the battlefield.

Brandon: (dodging) what's going on?

Deathstroke: (laughing) you're in trouble now.

Kate, panicked, runs to rejoin the other rangers. She hands the box to Shane.

Kate: quick get this out of here.

Shane: why what's going on?

Kate: just go!

Shane nods and goes to teleport away. However, for some reason the teleport fails.

Shane: (confused) what the?

Suddenly a beam of light shoots down from the sky and hits the ground. Psyclone, Morticai, Deathstroke and Dr. Reckor begin laughing.

Kate: be ready for anything rangers

Rangers: (unsure) right
